I would like to take a moment and discuss the possibilities of
performance with a story. Many artists of all kinds capture the audience very
well but do they show their vision and place a strong mindset or imagery for
the listener? I would like to share this short 4-minute video with you about
Mr. Dolby. His inspiration can be shown here along with his strong ability to
entertain the audience. Pay attention to how he captures the crowd. We can all
take lessons here. Click here to view Mr. Dolby's website.
How amazing is it to hear a song that is set up by a story.
I came across this song from TED.com when Mr. Dolby captures the crowd from the
idea of writing a song from his boat the Nutmeg. He explains how he rarely
plays songs of his own because there wasn’t any. His conversation started out
talking about this project of restoring the Nutmeg and how if the polar ice
caps where to melt his boat would rise up like an ark. This boat is where his
recording creation station lies. What amazing humor and creativity from Mr.
Dolby.
Setting up this story for the song by leading us into his
life and existence of the Nutmeg is a clever way to help others understand how
to tell a story. He talks about the solar panel/turbine this boat is being
electrified with and how he stays up into the early morning writing new songs.
Mr. Dolby has inspired me to look deeper within myself to create ideas and
capture the story by using humor and creativity. Images are a wonderful thing
when explaining an idea or song. What a wonderful and humorous listen. Thank
you Mr. Dolby for the wonderful song. I really liked how you set us up on your
vision before the performance.
